To Holly and Curt
So tonight at 6pm my best friend Holly is getting hitched to the BEST MAN ON THE PLANET EARTH (Ok…besides my Dad). It will just be the two of them at the wedding so last night I went over to her house to go over a few last minute details. First I saw the ring…it sparkles…it fits…it is a-a-a-amazing. Then we went over the “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” stuff. (Check, check, check, check.) I went through about five hundred and eighty two thousand dollars worth of loose change to find THE RIGHT good luck penny to put in her shoe during the ceremony. Then we drank the traditional bottle of wine and ate the traditional taco. Wait….ok ..those last two don’t really classify as “traditional” but we did do them. As I left (and I know I stayed too long but I couldn’t bring myself to leave) I gave her the biggest hug I could before forcing myself out of the house. I just can't believe the next time I lay my eyes on her she’ll be married. Married. Marrrried. Marrrrrrieeeedddd. Mmmmarrriiiieedddddd.eh hem...sorry....
Tonight at 6pm I’m going to sneak away from my holiday party to secretly toast to the following: tuna Casserole in the snow, rollerblades, Container Store closet organizers, Chardonnay in the BIG BOTTLE, sappy movies, the green sweat pants, Egyptian cotton sheets, our beach compound, #9-13 on the Broccoli Mix, the Sloth, the Alexandria Hospital emergency room, giraffe letter openers, kidney BEANS, your monkeys, glittery cards, frog cream and sugar sets, bikini’s on the worst fat days in life, lots of broken wine glasses, the Denver airport, untucked top sheets, and to hours of unknowingly dipping our hands in a bucket of acid all in the name of clean walls at the beach house. These are just a few of the things that I have shared with you (Holly) over the last four years of our amazing friendship and I look TOTALLY FORWARD to doing these things, and more, with both of you until the end of time. (We can use the gloves if we have to do that acid thing again though.) I love you both. I do. And if it weren’t for the fear of my tears causing some sort of “short” in my beloved Microsoft ergonomic wireless natural multimedia keyboard I could make that list a hell of a lot longer. *Muah* *Muah*
(Holly this is what I should have said last night before I left. I just don’t think starting with Roses are Red and Violets are Blue got my creative juices flowing…..)
Go get em' girl!
